Local Action is proud to announce a new sibling label, Clasico, curated and operated by ELEANOR.

Clasico will be focused on cutting edge global club music, and was inspired by a series of label trips to North America in 2022 and the energy, community and friendships that we built there. The inaugural release on the label comes from Coffintexts, an ascendent Miami-based artist who has quickly become a key figure in the city’s current hotbed of club music talent. 

A steady stream of releases across the last few years, both solo and collaborating with the likes of INVT and Jonny from Space, have seen Peruvian-American artist Coffintexts emerge as one of the most exciting new names in contemporary club music, with DJ support coming from Pearson Sound, Dixon, Charlotte de Witte, Volvox, Eclair Fifi, Nick Leon, Florentino and more. 

As well as contributing to compilations from the likes of Femme Culture, Coffintexts was behind one of the stand-out tracks on Danny Daze’s scene-setting Homecore! Miami All Stars compilation last October, and recently performed her first Boiler Room and Keep Hush streams, on top of recent festival appearances at Okeechobee, III Points and more. Press-wise, she’s had glowing write-ups in Resident Advisor, DJ Mag, Mixmag, Crack, Untitled 909 and more. 

Driven by flawless percussion throughout and punctuated by her own vocal hooks that stay with you from the first listen, Touch is a perfect summation of what makes Coffintexts so special. Opening track ‘Ur Body So Smooth’ feels like the perfect intersection between contemporary Miami, classic UK Funky and mid-2000s US house, with vocals from collaborator Gaby G. Title track ‘Touch’ takes things harder with big 909 hats over a warehouse bassline, while ‘Toxic’ hones in on the hypnotic combination of voice and percussion which has felt like a trademark of previous Coffintexts releases. Finally, ‘Activo’ slows things down for a Latin percussion workout, heavy on atmosphere and automation.

Vancouver-based artist Destrata chalks up his first solo release for Of Paradise with Counterweight, a multi-layered, richly-textured and often hyper-real journey through new school club music. Placing the critical elements of UK-flavoured bass and breaks under the microscope, Destrata’s scientific approach to production sees him examine everything in minute detail, disassembling and reassembling every aspect of a track until a structurally perfect composition emerges. 

Featuring four highly immersive cuts, Counterweight showcases a flux of atmospheric inspirations, displaying Destrata’s enthusiasm for more ethereal and fractal sounds built to ooze through back rooms, safeguarding the listener with a weighty lushness.

OP023 // Destrata - Counterweight

After his morning routine of yoga and meditation, Brian checks his ever-growing Revolut.Mars account before reads the intergalactic news on his phone while drinking his coffee. This morning, an article from Cydonia Daily catches his eye:

“42 thousand hectolitres of illegal Aqua Encelada seized by Martian Perimeter Forces (MPF)

In the early hours of the Martian morning, Extrapol have made the biggest seizure to date of undeclared Aqua Ence- lada in the vicinity of landing station MRS_3213. The finding of 42’00 hectolitres of high-purity Aqua Encelada on a cargo vessel entering supposedly carrying rare earths from the Centauri system marks a new record for the prolife- ration of illegal trade of this highly sought-out drinking water from Saturn’s ice-covered moon Enceladus.
Tests made on the chemical composition of the cargo reveal the water to have been extracted by the famously dan- gerous and highly illegal Aquabahn Method, which consists of high-speed capture of H20 particles ejected via cryo- volcanic eruption on Enceladus’s southern pole. This illicit method of extraction has become increasingly popular in recent years as mismanagement within AquaCorp Galactica coupled with unrelenting inflation on Mars have led to a surge in the price of luxury goods such as drinking water.
So far, no arrests have been made. A spokesperson from Extrapol told our journalists that the entire crew of the cargo vessel “internally combusted” immediately upon the discovery of the illegal cargo, leaving no survivors, but rumours that an escape pod managed to evade capture and jump to an unknown destination in hyperspace have been circulating. One Martian Perimeter Forces (MPF) official whose identity must be kept secret for obvious rea- sons told our investigative team that the cargo is believed to have been extracted by the Ultracephalic League and their mysterious amphibious leader Brian.
We strongly urge our readers to consume only the government-authorised synthesised Martian water, and to avoid luxury products whose dangerous extraction increases the influence of dangerous non-governmental groups such as the Ultracephalic League and their slug-like despot leader.“

A key part of New York’s club music underground, WTCHCRFT will release his next EP on Clasico, Local Action’s new sibling label curated and operated by ELEANOR.

Titled Sleepless in Brooklyn, the four-track EP sees WTCHCRFT continue to hone a distinctive take on techno — typically driven by acid basslines, minimal 808s and vocal hooks that reflect his hip-hop background — that’s seen him supported by the genre’s brightest sparks: Ellen Allien, Marie Davidson, TSHA, VTSS, Francois X, SPF DJ and Paula Temple.

A live fixture in the US and Europe, both solo and as one half of Madness Of (with regular b2b-partner KYRUH), WTCHCRFT has previously released on Balkan Vinyl, Sorry Records, Noise Manifesto and more.

Started during the pandemic and finished at the start of this year, Sleepless in Brooklyn is “dedicated to my time in Sunset Park Brooklyn, staying awake every day during the pandemic making music until 7AM."

All tracks written and produced by WTCHCRFT in Brooklyn.

READ > inverted-audio.com/premiere-lool-2-luul-persona

Back in May, Zürich record label Lustpoderosa issued 'Ace Ure Bra' LP from Geneva-based mastermind Lool 2 Luul...Our pick from the release is 'Persona'. Blurring the lines between cinematic ambient and slo-mo breaks, ‘Persona’ features earth-shaking kick-drums interwoven with high-spirited soundscapes and trippy FX-soaked textures resulting in a dancefloor meditation engulfing listeners in a cloud-shaped world.

Superstition Records proudly releases Nineties Reloaded – Superstition Classics Reimagined, an authoritative anthology of the legendary 1990s catalogue of the label, updated for contemporary floors and ears. 

Here, in a 20-track anthology, era-defining trance, techno and progressive tracks are revisited with a carefully curated set of remixes by some of the genre’s most iconic names, spanning the pioneering era of European club culture and the future direction of contemporary electronic music.

At its very centre are two solo standouts:
L.S.G.: “Netherworld (BLR X Hel:sløwed Remix)” – A peak-time anthem for 2025, combining BLR’s dark, propulsive production and Hel:sløwed’s euphoric progressive subtlety to re-envision one of trance’s most enduring classics.

Energy 52: “Café Del Mar (Oliver Lieb Extended 2 Remix)” – A decades-long secret reworking by none other than Oliver Lieb himself, emerging from the vault for the first time and presenting an atmospheric but forceful new take on one of electronic’s greatest ever songs.

These are followed by remixes from Humate, Der Dritte Raum, Trancesetters, Sterac, Rabbit In The Moon, Radio Slave, DJ T., Jamie Anderson, John Tejada, Goldfinger, Force Mass Motion, and Bedrock, used on Superstition’s impressive roster: Quazar, The Moon & The Sun, Jens, Marmion, Mijk van Dijk, Phax feat. Steve Bug, Velocity, Paragliders, and many more. Each track stands as a testament to the visionary sound of the label, be they in spacey progressive excursions, stripped-back techno reworks, or deep ambient reinterpretations.

Fiesta Soundsystem makes his Scuffed Recordings debut with the ‘How’s That?’ EP, featuring four new tracks exploring the spectrum of UK dance music.

The ‘How’s That?’ EP showcases Fiesta Soundsystem’s hardcore and rave influences, bolted together with UK club and bass rhythms; from the acid-tinged roller ‘Foundation’, and the warping title track, which echoes the moment when UKG transformed into dubstep; to the pummelling Amens of ‘Phlso’, and the sparse breaks of ‘Pych 130’.
